MEMORIAL BOWL
The above Competition took place on Sunday 28th July in glorious weather, having been postponed from the rainy season at the end of May! Sixteen pairs took part in a better ball Stableford format, all aiming to win the Joan Caw Memorial Bowl.
Scoring was very high and the result a close one, with mother and son combination Ruth and Sam Skaife Clark winning with 45 points (B924), highlights being Ruth’s eagle 3 at the 16th immediately followed by Sam’s birdie on 17! This pipped their playing partners Carol and Gareth Whiles into second place with Clare and Max Davies third, both couples also having 45 points but with back 9 scores of 23 and 22 respectively.
A great day enjoyed by all in memory of the many Pannal members whom we have sadly lost over the years.
